ENergy Efficient Process pLAnning system (ENEPLAN)

Start date: Oct 17, 2011, End date: Oct 16, 2014,

Today’s manufacturing plants provide a number of different processing possibilities for manufacturing a specific product. Each one of these processing possibilities poses different advantages and limitations that are function of both geometry and lot size of the part to be manufactured. However, one of the main driving forces in today’s production is the environmental friendliness and the energy e ...

Cooperation Environment For Rapid Design prototyping and New Integration Concepts for Factory of the Future (COPERNICO)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

In COPERNICO a novel approach is adopted which will look at ALL factors of the production system in a holistic manner (machines, humans, environment) and model the interactions. Particular attention will be paid to factory ramp-up, which is critical for new products and can be a major stumbling block achieving fast time-to-market. We believe that it is only possible to design a virtual manufacturi ...

Airfoil-based solution for Vessel on-board energy production destined to traction and auxiliary services (KitVes)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The problem that will be the object of the project is the generation of electric energy on vessels. In the troposphere, the wind increases its velocity with the altitude and this velocity is also more constant. KiteVes solution is based on the on-board realisation of a wind-powered generator, capable to harvest the altitude wind and to efficiently convert wind power into electrical power. The kit ...
